My wife is from Morristown, she used to go to taco John’s all the time. That was 20 years ago, she’s surprised and glad they are still there.

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I just came home from my Pigeon Forge family vacation and everywhere we went to eat was recommended by you guys. Thank you lots for making these informational videos on where the best places to eat are in the Gatlinburg area. Thank you very much Brooks and Christy!!

John thank you so much for that! That means a lot to us! Glad you had a great trip ❤️

Yum! I can't tolerate too much spice, definitely not like I could when I was young. All of the food you ordered looked wonderful! I could definitely enjoy a gallon or two of the yellow queso! 💛 Excellent review, as always. Thank you both for bringing us along. 💜

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Susan thank you so much! The yellow queso is really so good! Great flavor. We appreciate you watching

[@GPgundude]

The food looked absolutely fantastic! I’m a sucker for a Mexican restaurant with a salsa bar but I’ve never seen one with a hot sauce bar! Brooks, you are “The Man” for trying that much of that ghost pepper sauce!! Thanks for another great video!!!

We just finished up at Pizza Rio in Pigeon Forge and you guys gotta try it. The service is sooooo good and the choices of pizza was insanely delicious.

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

We LOVE Pizza Rio! It was one of our first food reviews 2 years ago. We've reviewed the Brunch Experience as well. It's a family favorite!

[@footprintsinamericanhistory]

We have Tijuana Flats all over Tampa Bay. I love their Jason's Mom sauce. I usually buy them by the bottle. That sauce is good on just more than tacos. It goes great on steak. My friend likes putting it on salmon when he cooks. Not true Mexican, but I do like them and their sauces are better than the sauces at Torchy's Tacos.

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

We know they started in Florida. Glad to have them in the Smokies. Jason’s mom is a great sauce! We enjoyed it as well! Thank you for watching 😊

[@lisachambers8952]

I love your intros, thank you for the great reviews. My family and I won't be coming back until March! but at least we will know where to eat when arrive.

[@StaunchWoman]

also have you ever gone to Pinchys in downtown Sevierville? I would love to see a review if you have, I really want to go here when we come

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Yes! We actually have three pinchys reviews in our library. They are all different but they might help 😊

[@Ashley.Loving]

Hi, first off my mother loves watching your videos and has even gotten me to watching them too. I wanted to ask if you would keep my family, in particularly my mom (Linda) in your prayers. My grandmother, my moms mother passed away suddenly Saturday June 22nd. I won't go into details, but there is a lot of stuff that is hurtful and upsetting with other family members involving her death and it has hit my family very hard. We are struggling with it all right now and prayer is definitely needed! Thank you

[@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun]

Christy here. First off, I am SO SORRY for the loss of your grandma. We will be praying God's peace and healing over you all. It's so hard. I've been there. I lost my Mom suddenly 2 years ago on July 8th. We also had some very very hurtful things said and done to us over her passing. Family can be amazing but sometimes they try to control situations or feel they have the right to do and say things they don't...in our case they way overstepped boundaries and said horrible untrue things. I've learned to forgive but I will no longer allow them into our life. It's sad...but I have to make sure that my own mental health comes first. Take care of yourselves. Thank you for watching our lil channel. God Bless you!

[@laurablassberg8559]

Not a cilantro fan at all. It has a funky taste to me. Your entrees looked really good. Ty for the great review.😊

I like to split them in half, grill them and just put taco meat and queso on top and pop back on the grill another minute or so. Easy, fast dinner with my ninja foodie xl pro. Love that thing! Cilantro goes a long way with me. I can do some but not a lot. Hubby is allergic. His face turns beet red..just like Brookes did with that hot sauce! 😂 He took one for the team for sure!
